NO-Y-Z's *Sheer Electronic Din* from 1983 captures the restless spirit of early industrial and experimental electronics, when synthesizers and drum machines were still tools for genuine sonic provocation rather than polish. This is raw, ungoverned territory—the titles alone ("Medieval California," "She's A Cow," "X Machine") suggest an art-school sensibility colliding with electronic noise, refusing easy categorization. The record sprawls across twelve pieces that range from melodic fragments ("Because There's A Melody") buried under layers of metallic texture to pure textural experiments that justify the album's declarative name. It's the kind of work that sounds equally at home in a basement art installation or late-night radio, where the boundary between composition and sound design dissolves. For anyone drawn to the uncompromising experimental electronic work of the early '80s—before the genre calcified into recognizable forms—this Azra Records release remains a genuinely strange and stimulating listen.
